To those that paved the way....

The recent lunch with the distinguished alumnae of our very well-established program was an inspiration to keep pushing forward. From the open conversation I have realized just how far the profession of dental hygiene has come. I respect the women for what they had to endure being pioneers in the school of dentistry. It was nice to see that they were still good friends and kept in touch. I hope the same for my class after many years out in practice. This lunch really opened my eyes to other options after dental hygiene as well. This experience has showed me the loyalty one has to there school and once I become an alumnus of this program I plan to revisit, give back, and have pride in where I came from. YAY VCU Dental Hygiene!!!!
